REFERRED TO GOVERNMENTAL OPERATIONS

Overview

A 6670, titled Establishes the Marshall plan for moms interagency task force, is currently in early-stage consideration in the New York State Assembly. The bill was introduced on March 7, 2025 and has been referred to the Committee on Governmental Operations. The legislative actions note the referral occurred on March 7, 2025 (listed twice, likely a clerical duplication).

Purpose and Intent

The bill aims to establish a formal interagency task force named the Marshall Plan for Moms Interagency Task Force. Although the specific statutory provisions are not provided here, the title indicates a focus on coordinating state government efforts that affect mothers and families across multiple agencies.

Key Provisions (Based on Available Information)

The full text with detailed provisions is not included in the information provided. Therefore, the exact makeup, duties, authority, funding, reporting requirements, and duration of the task force are not explicitly stated here.

Typically, such a measure would define the task force’s membership (including representation from relevant agencies), scope of policy coordination, meeting and reporting schedules, and potential sunset or renewal provisions. However, those specifics cannot be confirmed from the data available.

Who would be Affected

Primary affected groups: mothers and families, who would be the intended beneficiaries of coordinated policies and programs.

State government: multiple agencies would participate in the interagency task force, aligning policies and initiatives related to mothers’ needs (e.g., health, economic security, childcare, family services).

Stakeholders and advocates focused on maternal health, family welfare, and workforce supports may have an interest in the task force’s work and recommendations.

Legislative Status and Timeline

Status: Referred to Governmental Operations (early stage; pending committee review and potential amendments).

Introduced: March 7, 2025.

Next steps: After committee action, the bill would need passage by the Assembly and potential consideration by the Senate, followed by any conference or sponsorship adjustments before becoming law.

Sponsors and Related Legislation

Primary sponsor: Jo Anne Simon

Cosponsors include: Angelo Santabarbara, Dana Levenberg, Maritza Davila, George Alvarez, Catalina Cruz, John Zaccaro Jr., Al Taylor, Karines Reyes, David Weprin

Related bills: A 6567 and A 7895 (prior-session), S 3572 (companion legislation; listed as companion twice)

The related bills suggest ongoing interest in maternal-support policy across sessions and possibly mirrored or companion measures in the Senate.

Potential Impact and Considerations

If enacted, the task force could improve cross-agency coordination on policies affecting mothers, potentially informing program design, funding decisions, and policy reforms.

Budgetary and administrative implications would depend on the scope and operations authorized for the task force (staffing, meetings, reporting, and any mandated programs).

Stakeholders will likely watch for the task force’s duties, reporting requirements, and tangible policy recommendations or implementation timelines.

Note: For a more complete understanding, the bill’s full text would be needed to detail the exact provisions, membership rules, funding, and reporting obligations.
